Compression Attached Memory Modules (CAMM) are gaining popularity among memory manufacturers and may soon become a standard for a wider user base. At Computex, GEIL showcased its new CAMM and LPCAMM2 modules designed for desktops and laptops.

The CAMM standard was already featured on a modern Z790 motherboard by MSI, while the LPCAMM2 modules are expected to appear in upcoming laptops. Both modules utilize DDR5 technology and offer space-saving benefits for users.

While the CAMM2 modules offer space-saving benefits they also users to install larger CPU coolers without disruption from tall memory modules. However, the use of screws for installation means they are not as easily replaceable. At least not the first generation of such modules.

For laptops, CAMM2 modules can replace dual-channel installations, reducing space usage by up to 64% compared to two SO-DIMM modules. JEDEC, the organization behind DDR specifications, fully supports this standard. These modules also come in Low-Power standards and support higher speeds of 7500 MT/s with minimal issues.

Kingston and ADATA will also showcase their CAMM2 and LPCAMM2 modules at Computex. While detailed specifications and availability are not yet provided, the adoption of this technology may soon gain in momentum.
